Django 初学者 - 运行 manage.py runserver 时出现 Joinpath 错误

Question

I am learning Djnago and I am facing an issue I have looked around but can't maange to solve it. So basically on page 45 of Django For Beginners the author says:

" Next we need to update config/settings.py to tell Django the location of our new templates directory. This is a one-line change to the setting 'DIRS' under TEMPLATES." Code

config/settings.py

TEMPLATES = [
{
...
'DIRS': [str (BASE_DIR. joinpath('templates '))], # new
...
},
]

So in my settings.py file I have this:

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [str(BASE_DIR.joinpath('templates'))],  # new
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            ],
        },
    },
]

Unfortunatelly, when I run the manage.py runserver I then get this message:

  File "C:\Users\User\Desktop\pages\manage.py", line 22, in <module>
    main()
  File "C:\Users\User\Desktop\pages\manage.py", line 18, in main

    'DIRS': [str(BASE_DIR.joinpath('templates'))],  # new
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'joinpath'

I bet the error is very basic and I am not looking in the right direction but it's been nearly a day since I have started searching for an answer so if someone could help me I would be really gratefull.

Thanks all and have a great day.

Answer 1

First, you need to "import os" on settings.py.

Then go to TEMPLATES and change the...

'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates'),],

TEMPLATES = [
{
    'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
    'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates'),],
    'APP_DIRS': True,
    'OPTIONS': {
        'context_processors': [
            'django.template.context_processors.debug',
            'django.template.context_processors.request',
            'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
            'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
        ],
    },
},

]

#I hope you get your solution. Thank You.

join that is u can use `

'DIRS': [str(os.path.join(BASE_DIR,"Templates"))],

thanks
